Whenever I need to refactor my databases because I want to move some fields from one entity to another I always have to enact my changes and then see what these changes broke and then fix them.

Especially for formulae and lookups this is cumbersome because the erroneous field now simply shows “deleted entity” and “deleted property” (or something similar) so I reconstruct or guess what the files in use was.

If I could run a “show all referenced” command on a field, I could instead first refactor all dependencies and then delete a field with peace of mind.

Thanks! 🙂
